Re: The Legend is back
I quite like it. The video shows the Asian market model with a front number plate holder, which of course we don't get over here. So our model looks better in my opinion. I had the C50 and the C90. They were great bikes. I think the price is high but I'm expecting it to be a quality bit of kit. Mind you, for another £500 you can get a discounted new GTS300 Vespa!
Probably not ugly enough for the 'Ugly Bunch'!

Or for £500 less you could have my GTS300!
Yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery but today is a gift!

Re: The Legend is back
Sat on one today at Newcastle Honda, lovely in the flesh, comfy but odd feeling sat on it, like Mr Fish's review, that heel/toe changer is off putting, parked next to the monkey its a no brainer, the Monkey is just way cooler and nicer to sit on, so that would be my non scooter option, i run the "New Honda Monkey 125 owners Uk" group on facebook, loads of lovely bikes and happy owners so feel free to join if interested, i have discounts for parts etc from various sources as perks for group members, i doubt many will from here but i advise you to ride one at least once in your life, loads of fun.

Re: The Legend is back
Just watched Mr fish on my home turf 'Surrey Hills, the bike handles well, he did not point out that the gearbox is a revolving type, ie if you come to a stop in 4th gear, you can press down into neutral, and then be ready to move away selecting first. Simples.
Honda have not fitted very good mirrors, not fitted a prop stand, no kickstarter, not fitted a dual seat or rear foot rests. No underseat storage.

It's pretty obvious Honda have just copied it....
And then added 2 grand to the price.

Re: The Legend is back
There are / were quite a few Honda Cub clones around - are they as good as the original? Even Honda did the Innova which is basically the same thing with different styling. Whilst I like the idea of something very economical and reliable, and a basically very sound design, the new version seems like a plaything - no screen, no storage. And that keyless ignition looks hard!
